Martin Valdivia, a 37-year-old Hispanic man from Columbus, Ohio, was killed late on the night of October 30, 2024. Police received reports of gunshots about 11:15 p.m. in the 5600 block of Cabot Cove Drive on the city’s Far West Side; a second caller reported seeing a person lying on the ground. Officers found Valdivia outside one of the buildings with at least one gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives say Valdivia was shot after a dispute with another man the two knew. Officers located 36-year-old Jose Daniel Guzman-Castaneda near the scene, arrested him without incident, and recovered a firearm. Guzman-Castaneda was charged with murder in connection with Valdivia’s death. A family member organized a fundraiser to help cover funeral costs.

Does anyone who knew Martin or who was in the Cabot Cove area that night have information that could help investigators?
